Fucking LOL.
Theresa May's Lancaster House speech setting out her vision for Brexit was one of the worst decisions a politician has ever made.
She set out a path that she wanted the UK to have, post withdrawal with the EU, and detailed the sunlit uplands free of all of those penny-hungry immigants, with trade policies 'taken back' from Brussels and a bucaneering new relationship with the EU and the rest of the world. No border erected in Ireland on her watch.
She literally created a trilemma that she has stuck to doggedly in the face of reality for almost 2 full years. Yes she fired the two advisers (Nick Timothy is some piece of work) who were instrumental in creating that policy, but ultimately the shit sticks to her.
That Lancaster House speech has resulted in the EU seeing what the UK thinks it wants, and showing them how to get there. Recall 'Barnier's Slide'? The WA that she cannot get her Parliament to pass is predicated entirely on what the UK wants to be in relation to the EU. The EU worked with the UK to come to this arrangement that could facilitate a change from today's position within the EU to that of the future outside.
She veered drastically to the right of the UK Parliament's wishes on Brexit (even if the majority of them voted to enact A50 to compound their earlier fuck ups under Cameron) in an effort to unite the Conservative Party around the middle ground of Euro-scepticism, kind of like saying the 'nice bit' of Cardiff, and decided to completely avoid any effort whatsoever at a consensus led exit. She alienated the opposition (who are due a serious amount of criticism for their subterfuge) to the point of making it apparent, even to those of us who believe that oppositions should sometimes support Govt business and vice versa, that opposing for the sake of opposing was probably +EV play.
She rammed through bill after bill, in a precariously balanced HoC, destroying instead of curating faith in her Govt's ability to listen to the voices around them to try to chart a realistically achievable path out.
GTFO
